  • Listen every week!

    Dom has amazing guests from all walks of life and has a really good knack for asking the questions you really want to know the answers to! He’s matured a lot since his time as a radio shock jock and has empathy, kindness and life experience to ensure he gets the best stories out of his guests. I look forward to each of his podcasts and often find it’s the lesser known guests that end up having the best conversations.

    Love love love!
